Rams Unchanged For Third Successive League Match

Gary Rowett has named an unchanged starting line-up for the third successive Sky Bet Championship fixture ahead of today’s meeting with Sheffield United.

That means that Johnny Russell, the 27-year-old Scottish wideman, has recovered from a groin injury to maintain his place on the right flank for this afternoon’s trip to Bramall Lane.

On top of that, Rowett, the Rams’ manager, has named the same seven substitutes that he took to Bolton Wanderers a week ago.

Today will see Tom Huddlestone, the 30-year-old former England international, make his 100th Derby County appearance.

Matej Vydra will also be making his 200th career appearance in today’s meeting against the Blades.

Sheffield United: Blackman, Stevens, Fleck, O’Connell, Basham, Sharp, Wright, Coutts, Freeman, Duffy, Lavery

Substitutes: Eastwood, Lundstram, Carter-Vickers, Lafferty, Evans, Brooks, Carruthers

Derby County: Carson, Wisdom, Keogh (C), Davies, Olsson; Huddlestone, Johnson; Russell, Vydra, Weimann; Nugent

Substitutes: Mitchell, Bryson, Martin, Lawrence, Baird, Pearce, Butterfield
